Weakness has been the chief character
lstic CT the New York marker this week.
Up 20 Thursday night the decline WAS
slow but STEADY, and evinced e gradual
weakening OF the position, due, il vas
thought, chiefly TO the realizing OF longs,
who were unwilling Go csrry suy large load
over the holidays, end also to the general
expectation that the crop movement this
week would prove OF pretty good
volume. Rnmors Of heavy receipts to
come by river to New Orleans
were freely circulated in this connec-
ton. Spots sympathized with futures to
some extent and this weakening tendency
was also assisted by the continued stesdy
movement of sctuel cotton to this mar
ket. On Friday the failure of the crop
movement to materialize to the extent eX-
pected caused rally which put up futures
about ten points in the forenoon. A good
business was done on the advance. Spots
showed the most active gain, advancing
&c, and leaving quotations exactly the
same as at this time last week. The Ex-
change closed Ffidsy night, aud will re-
open Tuesday morning. Liverpool will

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf Dec. 23-The
death at the little town elSMay field, near
the Stanfol d University Of young and
consumptive printer named Frank Mckee,
complete curious story OF q rich young
girls folly. Seven years ago Abram
Brown of Oakland died, leaving property
to his only daughter, frankie. valued at
$50, 600. She attained her majority q
little over year ago, and then assumed
control Of the property, which Drought in
an annual income ct about $4,000.
She took trip to Highland Springs, and
there lively widow persuaded her that
she ought to become widow herself in
order to enjoy the social freedom that an
unmarried woman can never hope TO gain.
Full OF the project, she returned to Oak
land and formed the acquaintance of
Captain and Mrs. K NJ. Apgsr. To them
she conited Der longing for social eman-
cipstion. She declared she was bound
to become widow and thought if
she could marry some man who
was on his deathbed, it would be about
the right thing. Apgar agreed that il she
was determined 10 marry, sad for he
purpose stated, it would be advisable to
have the thing settled with SO little pub
licity as possible. He accordingly intro
d1ced this peculiar young woman 10 DR..

DR.. Dapuy. wISre thessMe dical man ex-
hibited his cdHsumptive. sdMiss Brown
looked him ever WITH criticsl eye,
thumped his ches tssfgorously, and made
him cough sevarM times fer the purpose
tet ascertaiagg il the investment was a
safe one. She finally corcluded that she
wsuld take the chances OF his living. Nc
We consented to msrry the girl for a
Muey consideration and the pair were

looms.
New Yerk Commercial Advertiser.
Mr.. Charles G. Curtis and Francis B
Croker, two practical electricians, have
tor year or more been giving their at.
tention TO the unsolved problem of aerial
navigation. They believe they have per.
fected al electrical continuance that will
enable them TO control the question of c
captive balloon 10 motion. The new fy-
ing machine is yet only theory, but ii
will soon be put 20 practical test.
Many Of the details, although fully
worked out, can not be made public, IS
the inventors have not completed their
patents. Mr.. Crocker, however, did not
hesitate to give general description OF
the new machine this morning. He de-
clared il the most simple Of any that has
40 far been proposed. The motive power
ana staerIng apparatus consist rs f=n
frCm five TO ten feet IN dismGter, with q
wide blade Of thin steel. The fan ia to
work horizontally. deriving its power
from an electric motor suspended just
below the center or hub Of the lowest
side, while below the motor and fan the
CIR or basket will be suspended. The
motor is TO weigh hot more than two
hundred pounds, and will have the force
OF 8 ten-horse power engine. The fan
will ordinarily make fifteen hundred reVo-
luiions per minute, but can be increased
10 5000 or even 5000 revolutions in case
Of en- emergency. The steel blsde setting
against the air at such speed will be suf-
fcient to carry ire machine upward, and
to steer it with or against G. current OF
air by defectious Of the fan.
The new flying machine is not. how
ever, free agent go fit like S bird where
it lisGeth, but must remain captive, con-
nected By wire with dynamo, which
will furnish power to the motor. Up to
the present time no storage system or
pr mary battery has been discovered OF
sufficient power Or lightness that it could
be Carried by the machine itself. Mr.
IGrocser is deeply interested iU his inven-
fsap, but be admits that it will be OF no
practical utility except for wsr purposes
or sweather observation. He hopes to
t,have he machines perfected in time FOL

Pine City Special to Philadelphia News
There are two gentlemen temporarily
stopping hele who have been spending
the summer in the Northwest territory.
They report a river Of small volume,
. tribu1y ofashe Saskatchewan, whose
waters are go thoroughly impregnsted
with carbonate OF lime that any sub
stance immersed therein Immediately
turns TO stone, They have many speci-
mems CT petrifed wood, leaves, etc.,
showing the exact texture Of the original
article. A sirloin of beef immersed in the
water few months comes out rugged
and solid and suitable TO take rank with
the best quality Of building stone. Ami
mails accidently killed are found in it's
waters hardened and preserved.
The body of sn officer in the
regular army, killed in an Indian
skirmish and left beneath the inn
mortslizing waters Of this placid streendS
was found months after petrifed with
such completeness that 1t resembled the
finest grade Of Parian marble, and the
features retained such distiIGtness that
ne was readily recognized by eSen casual
acquaintances. These Discoveries have
led to the idea of forming a syndicate ia
utilize this stre.m, and do away with the
repulsive idea of cremation shd also the
attendant horrors Of the touIb.
The company msy be caiEed the Great

to their surviving friends, with texture

work CT srt. This would do away with
all the "base uses" and prepare future
imperial C8jars to beauty and adorn
their ancestral homes instead Of becCm-
ing q mere lump OF plastic material,
which would only serve to "stop hole
10 keep the wind away"
Our friends can come back from the
hands Of this syndicate with durability
that will rival any OF the sedlmentsrY
rocks, and be conspicuously set up to
watch with their sgate eyes the manner
in which their heirs and assigns manage
the paterDsl estates. We who live to be
great grandfathers may do service ct the
front gates Of cur worthy descendants as
hitching posts, and the line fences of lu-
ture generations may be composed of
serrieG columns of adsmantire eIcast ors.
The art possessed by the ancient
Egyptians pales into miserable insig-
nidcance when compared to the new pro-
cess. Shriveled cadaverousness will be
replaced with rotund pluwpness, and the
shrunkep, distorted features by the pleas
ant smile with which the righteous Is
said to greet the death angel.

decorum. She is forevermore branded
doubtful Consequently she hides
| from 1.-The world, and, II niece ssary,
| lies to conceal her real human
self from detection. I have heard the
obi ction offered that il we ell speak ab-
solute truth we must speak Ill OF many
people. l do not believe it. There is no
human being 80 depraved that good can
not be spoken of him. Is would be an
interesting experience il we should ali
experiment for an entire month in finding
the excellent quality to mention IN each
person we meet, and Keeping silence con-
corning his or her faults.
Silence, however, Is often made to
serve as the helpless handmade OF liars. /
can imagine no more despicable lie thsn
the one conveyed by silence when speech
is needed to defend the reputation OF
some victim OF malice or envy. Many a
name has been Swallowed by the signifi-
can't silent lie of one who should have
spoken the word of defense. 1 am afraid
| this ia phase OF falsehood more femi-
nine than rasculIne.
Liars, like poets, are more frequently
| born than made; but certain methods Of
education can increase or cure the mals-
dy. T. is ssid that several Of our great
| novelists were terrible liars in childhood.
Their vivid imaginations portrayed events
and scenes which they related es actual
occurrences. Utilized IN fiction their in
born propensity to exaggerate common
events became valuable to the lovers OF
exciting fiction.
A child should be taught to consider 6
slight nrevarication as a departure from
morality, and strict truthfulness OF
speech, even in trivial matters, as one Of
tae highest virtues.
However lightly we may speak OF tell
ing "white lies" we all feel an instinc-
tive respect for the man or woman who
has won reputation for sincere truth
folaess, and we have but TO build our
own lives on. the same foundation to be
re garded in the same light.
